Ladybug's Doodles Days and Nights

Here we are with a Dewey's Read-A-Thon update. :D  I am having fun trying to get through my Dickens pick.  :D  It is going slow, but I am steadily working on it.

Total pages read: 400 in Little Dorrit; I don't know how many pages are in the Westerns.

Time I have Spent Reading: 5hrs
What I am Currently Reading: STAR GATE by Andre Norton and LITTLE DORRIT by Charles Dickens
Books I have Finished: BILL CAREY RIDES WEST/THE TOWN NO GUNS COULD TAME by Louis L'Amour (Two Audio Dramatizations of short stories by L'Amour
Blogs I have Visited: about 10, I have been more reading than visiting the 5 hrs working on my reading. :D  



The Mid-event survey time:

1. What are you reading right now?

Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens and Star Gate by Andre Norton

2. How many books have you read so far?

I have finish two books actually, since I am counting the Louis L'Amour CDs.  I am working on others.

3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?

I am really looking forward to finishing Little Dorrit and Casting the Runes by M.R. James

4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day?

I have been unable to free up the whole day.  I was able to listen to audio books as I was doing other things though. :D  I think that will count?

5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?

Any interruptions, I just dealt with them and tried to finish as quickly as possible.

6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?

Nothing so far

7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?

I really am unable to usually come up with suggestions when asked.  It is usually when unasked that I give suggestions. :D

8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year?

I would try to free up more time, I guess

9. Are you getting tired yet?

Nope. I'm wide awake still.  Ask me in about 5 hours though. :D

10. Do you have any tips for other Readers or Cheerleaders, something you think is working well for you that others may not have discovered? 



Nope, nothing yet

  2. I am impressed that you can read Dickens during Readathon- that's quite a feat (especially for someone like me who picks graphic novels and kids books :)


    Pile those books up ceiling high
    pick one, read one, all night long
    No matter what you choose to read,
    In Readathon rules there is no wrong!
